So how do you plan to counter this so-called strategy

just like the strategy that made Jimi Agbaje lost his bid to become Lagos Governor despite the billions he spent.

Jimi Agbaje realized that Igbo amaka

Jimi Agbaje realized that Igbo amaka

and he succeeded abi?

Goke7:

chai, oba of Lagos don suffer but do I blame you? No, the oba of Lagos has himself to blame for trying to sell his heritage!

I don't know the size of Oba's palace; but if valuable mineral is discovered on the piece of estate, it's only a matter of time before he sells. So what is suffering about someone making such a smart decision to sell? If land owners didn't sell the lands in Lagos, will we be here having conversation about the value of Lagos? Will you have the population to make Lagos the buzzing city it is now? Or you somehow think Lagos attain this status by refusing to welcome people - sell lands?

Goke7:


and he succeeded abi?

It takes a while. If in doubt, ask Buhari!

Goke7:


Another blackmail that will not work just like the biafra ish lol

What is blackmail about enjoying the benefit of one Nigeria - Oil and Lagos?

Billyonaire:


I decided that I am not going to respond to emotional tantrums referencing the history of Lagos I wrote, but I have decided to respond to you, because your response to my assertion has no emotional coloration. Congratulations for being civil to me. Many people hate my truth and always tend to attack the messenger. So, the response to your statement is as follows;

I agree totally that Yorubas at a stage in this world, own this land we now refer to as Lagos. I believe there was a time, not long ago that Yoruba owned Lagos, but they no longer own Lagos now. Take for instance, there was a Time in History that Bini owned this Space, they named it Eko, which means Camp. There was a Time in History that the Portuguese people owned his Space in Time, and they named it Lagos, which means Lake in Portuguese.

But at this Time in Space, why do we choose to ascribe ownership of Space to historical Lords ? This Space that I live belongs to me and my offsprings for ever and ever as long as they choose to keep it. But if they sell it to any one else, the Space changes Title. The real indigenous people, the Yorubas in the hinterland know the history of this place than the politicians, they do not even like the politicians cos all they do is seize their land. They are also not emotional as the Yorubas online are. I dine with these people. I enter the trenches. Even as at yesterday I was in one of those communities, I dine with the people, I associate with them. I talk to them and I associate with them and they tell me stories.

This is how I get to know things, and it does open up opportunities for me as I am able to go beyond bias.

This land, changes title. And it has moved from Ile Ife ownership to Bini ownership to Portuguese ownership, and now this town is over 20 million peopled, and majority, not Yoruba, so the era of tribal ownership of Lagos is over.

Let me repeat, the time for Tribal ownership of Lagos is over. Tinubu owns the largest expanse of Land here and he is the largest land share holder. I own a few hectares, so I also Lagos, at least a part of it. Every Landlord owns a piece of this Space in Time, but the original Creator, owns everything. And he sees the world through my eyes.

Time for Tribal ownership of Lagos, is long over. And remain in the cache of our history never to be resurrected again.

I enjoyed your write up.Kudos.I have some questions.. why did you say that the Yorubas are not the majority group in Lagos,do you know that Yorubas have obas in almost all communities in Lagos,all festivals in Lagos are Yoruba oriented,almost all streets,roads etc are yoruba,the state house of assembly's reps speak Yoruba every Thursday,Yoruba language has been made compulsory in all schools,radio Lagos runs its programs mostly in Yoruba,govs and their vices had always been Yorubas,the lands that were sold to you would revert back to their yoruba owners in 99 years if you have c of o,most industries in Lagos are Yoruba owned except the petty buying and selling, most developers in Lagos are Yorubas...pls,do you still think that Lagos is not Yorubaland?Thanks.

PointB:



We will nip such seed in the bud, and we will raise Nigerians consciousness of Yoruba intention to cheat the rest of us of our investments in Ports and other federal facilities in Lagos. Imagine the revenue generated in the Ports only (the only viable ports), Yorubas want to claim all for themselves? It's not gonna happen.

If and when it's time to restructure, we'll make sure Lagos is reclassify as Home for All, and outside the control of South West.

Lagos is like Oil! God gave Nigeria both; no one persons is going to have absolute control of it.

Lagos belong to Nobody; Lagos belongs to Everybody. That is why it is now - No Mans-Land!

i see where you are going, but then I don't think other people have any problem with lagos belonging to the yorubas,it's only igbos who have been calling lagos a no man's land.goodluck in your endeavor, you may even recruit the jews if you want,

Tunks2017:


Lagos is a full blooded south west yoruba land, in Nigeria, in west Africa.............
Lagos gov doesn't depend on Niger delta oil or wait for Abuja for allocation to develop ........., it is self sufficient and generates revenue from foreign investments, tax and other state institutions........
N deltans are the cause of thier problems and backwardness...............
Niger deltans should ask for thier alleged N delta oil money from thier governors, chiefs, james ibori, Alison D, NNPC, GEJ & co.........
Lagos doesn't need your N Delta oil to move forward ➡ ...........
Besides there are some oil reserves discovered in Lagos
Hope the oil in N Delta even drys up so that everybody's eye will be clear & Nig can move to other means of generating revenue e.g solid minerals, cash crops.........

Till then Lagos remains a No mans land

Goke7:

Oh yes
APC continues to lose sleep over the matter ;

Goke7:


truth is folks like the current oba of lagos and lagos politicians are not helping matters, they are ready to sell their heritage just for political gains which will not even affect them now but generations after them. The way the Lagos cultural heritage is being assaulted, hmmm I pity Lagos state indigenes o! Am from neighbouring Ogun state and that's why am bothered cos if I say e no concern me na small small e go reach my backyard as my town is just 45 mins drive from Lagos.

Lagos is a Cosmopolitian city.

It has a long fabled history of Yoruba ownership and domination. But that's now history.

The city has evolved, as does every commercial hubs and mega cities. The Lagos you knew is dead (RIP). This is the effect of civilization; this is new Lagos. I know it's tough to fathom this, but you must embrace the new reality of Lagos. We all own Lagos now; this is the present, and future. You can't fight civilisation and win. You need to accept this to be at peace.

If you want Ogun to become a commercial hub like Lagos, be ready to for Ogun to evolve like Lagos. Is Ogun ready for civilisation? The people who will invest money in Ogun will come with their conditions, and of course baggages. Does Ogun know that she can't eat her cake and have it.

You think it's only Igbos who see your greedy moves to annex proceed from the Ports and other FG strategic investment for yourselves? You think Igbos are the only one who have problem with your schemes to exclude other citizens of the benefit of the large market that Lagos is?

Goodluck with your delusions bro, when the chips are down, we'll see how far you can go with your greedy schemes and machinations!

my brother it's like you are taking this the wrong way, this discussion may have the look and feel of an argument but I assure you it isn't. it's two separate sides. those who believe it's a no man's land and those who belive lagos to be yoruba land. we have made known where we stand on the matter. I am also willing to let you have the last word if you think this to be an argument.

Alcatraz005:


Yigbo will continue being our slaves and pay taxes to their yoruba overlord in our land. We would swallow you and rule over your generations. Continue the internet struggle.

between igbos and yorubas in lagos,who is more richer?shebi na tax you want,we will keep paying no matter the amt cos givers never lack. you hardly see my people beg unlike yours littered around every corner begging.

What is there to argue about? You've made your stand, and you've heard mine. I don't see anything to argue or whine about. I'll only suggest that you go grab a piece of Lagos for yourself and lay claim.

If you keep shouting Lagos belongs to Yoruba, while you don't personally have a piece of Lagos in your name, and you can't do sh$%5t about the next guy who is selling a piece to non-Yoruba to make ends meet, goodluck!

Tax is paid on income, right? Abi you want take tax from those who are not earning any income? You can try!

Lagos will never be Yoruba land for as long as Nigeria exists

Better go there and erect your heroes stutues, also make your language compulsory in Lagos. Not here

Goke7:


the problem with you guys is that you reveal your strategy too early which is not a wise thing to do cos you can be easily countered.

oga hold your land naa and don't sell. shaaaa,the hungry ones will definitely sell.

Gotze1:

The fact dat yorubas always see the need to explain, shows that its a no mans land. Lagos is a no mans land, one Nigeria forever

Gotze1:

Yorubas in Lagos should go and conduct business with rest of the world in Yoruba, that is their business. Such retrogressive move for those who consider themselves progressive. A million sigidis erected in Lagos will not take Lagos back to the dark ages. Lagos is open for business; and we are here for business, you can continue with your sigidi business like Rochas is currently doing in Imo. Looks like APC is now synonymous with erections of statues. It must be paucity of developmental idea that triggers this missteps to the past. Or is it because of the ancestor we have a president?

By the way, I offer Yoruba classes for those who intend to descend to the abyss for tactical or strategic reason.

There's a lot of igbo culture being promoted within the igbo-British community. Have a look at the channel.

so the folks who voted for trump all in the name of wanting their country back are against civilization abi. Truth is the yorubas still edge it when it comes to politics which is what dictates commerce and businesses all over the world. The yorubas will play the right politics to address this issue and it's only to whine and whine online you guys will do. Lagos state is now part of the Odua group and that speaks volume, they won't make noise like you guys do online but in few years time when things begin to unfold, you will be back to shout and wail.

bakynes:


OK let's assume Benin owns Lagos Island. So is Benin the owner of other parts of the Western region which was merged with Eko to form Lagos State? Places like Lekki,Ajah,Ikorodu,Epe,Ipaja,Mushin, Yaba, Surulere,Ojuelegba, Isolo etc all with Yoruba names.

Please answer these question.

How much of their 'country' can they get back? Their country has moved on and they have been left behind. No one is saying Yorubas should not play politics in Lagos; politics all Yoruba know how to do, so by all mean go ahead. But realize there is limit to any politics Yoruba can play. Like those who voted Trump to take back their country are failing, same fate await anyone who plays politics with the intention of returning Lagos back to stone age - failure of abysmal proportion. Such individual(s) or group are best served chasing shadows, they have better chance catching shadows than returning Lagos to a predominant Yoruba enclave.

Now you folks keep asking Igbos to forget Biafra and move on. Please take a page from your book. Lagos was a Yoruba City; Lagos is now a Nigerian city. It belongs to all, and it belongs to no one. Lagos is now No-man's Land. Forget Lagos and move on. Resistance is not only futile, but retrogressive.

nengibo:

hahahahaha, you said Ikorodu was Yoruba name, I ask you the meaning you turn deaf & dumb, abeg nonsense dey smell, Yorubas are landgrabbers, Eko is a no mans land

Mumu Ikorodu is an Ijebu land everybody knows that, but am not an indigene so I don't know how the name came to be only people indigenous to Ikorodu can answer that question. If you ask me the meaning of Oyo or Ondo or Ekiti I don't know the meaning even if am Yoruba. Not every name as a direct meaning.

Goke7:

No please.

Both Yoruba and non-Yoruba buy land from in Lagos. But everyone has a price. If you are ready to pay over the top for a piece of real estate and are ready to pay quickly, it usually sway the seller.

Secondly, it make little or no sense to limit your potential market (as land seller) to a specific group of people. You may end up selling cheap or dying of hunger. So if land owners say they won't sell to non-yorubas, we'll see how that goes when the wad is padded!

You are deceiving yourself, the names show that the indigenous people are not Yoruba, since Yorubas can't interprete their names, useless landgrabbing oshogbo migrants
